>>Why is this?<<

Two reasons

1. Many Catholics have no clue what it means to be Catholic. Poor teachings for nearly 40 years

2. Lots of people are born Catholic but are really “Catholic-ish”

Things are changing. If Obama doesn’t stop it, many Bishops are finding their backbone and actually guiding us.

I think Americans are beginning to get serious about their religion. You don’t have to be a fire and brimstone Baptist to see that the time is coming where we all will have to choose a side.

I hope that the Catholic Bishops can get their church back on track, just as I hope that the left-leaning Protestant denominations can get back on track too.

#3) Too many Catholics have been taught by their Marxist CINO teachers to worship Liberation Theology instead of God.

If Marxism is preached from the pulpit and taught in the Catholic schools is it any wonder that Catholics mistook Obama for a god and voted for him?

By the way, my daughter spent a year teaching in a K-8 Catholic school in Texas. Every one of the teachers and the principal voted for Obama. They took every opportunity to show the students how **thrilled** they were to have an abortion supporting ( even a leave ‘em in the sink to die) Obama as president.

#4: Many Catholics are under the mistaken impression that voting Democrat means a vote for the “little man” (i.e. a vote for the Unions).

While it’s true a Democrat vote is pretty much a vote for Unions, the Unions of old are not what they used to be, used to stand for. This is something most Catholics must be educated about.

A tangential point, most Catholics are under the mistaken impression that “social justice issues” are at the same level, theologically speaking, as abortion or euthanasia. The latter have been defined as “non-negotiable”, (but not very clearly by the USCCB, see below) but the former is, by its very nature, a nebulous, abstract issue that, as we conservatives know, can be handled in a different way than “taxing the rich to give to the poor”. Most Catholics don’t know this though; they believe “social justice” can only be achieved through some kind of socialistic paradise.

So, these well meaning Catholics say to themselves in the booth, “Obama may be pro-abortion, but at least he’s for ‘social justice’, so, since the USCCB has told me that I can use my ‘conscience’ when voting for candidates, and my conscience tells me that social justice is a more important issue than abortion, I’m voting for Obama.”

It’s a shame the USCCB hasn’t come out with more forceful and educational “voter guides”. This is really the problem.
